July 8th
Back in village, finally! Camp planning
went well. I felt a little less than useful, having come in a bit
late, so I ended up sitting around while other people worked on
lesson plans or handouts, but I did feel like I contributed some good
ideas, helped as a sounding board, and even provided some handouts of
my own (the ones recently taken from Halley to use for the September
science camp). It's fun getting to know a new group of volunteers,
and I'm looking forward to working with them, as well as hanging out
with old friends.
I got home tonight after a bit of bus
confusion. Major never called back to tell me if WPK was running but
it worked out for the best, I caught the STAF at 1:20 as it was
pulling out of the station (40 minutes early, I might add) and made
it home just before it started to rain, which it has continued to do
for the past 5 hours. My moringa, that pathetic looking stick a few
weeks ago, has now impressively turned into a tree again! I might
just pull up my newly sprouted one and put it elsewhere. The lettuce
and basil is looking good, the swiss chard is sort of ok and the
spinach is looking pretty small still, not sure why. No carrots,
onions, tomatoes, or lavender, but I'm hoping the rain tonight does
them all some good and encourages them to sprout. It's good to be
home, I'm actually really sad that I'll be leaving again in just 8
days.
